Bilingual procurement and supply chain professional driving inventory and purchasing efficiency.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) procurement and supply chain professional with over five years of experience managing purchasing, inventory control, and production scheduling across multi‑million dollar portfolios. I have hands‑on maintenance and automation troubleshooting experience, which helps me bridge operations and procurement to keep production running.
I have managed $20M–$30M accounts, maintained purchase orders and supplier relationships, and used ERP systems and MRP processes to improve lead times and inventory turns. I routinely collaborate with engineering and BOM teams to ensure correct part revisions and reduce rejections.
I am a quick learner and self-starter with strong communication skills, proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Suite and Tableau, and technical training in PLCs, hydraulics, motor controls, and HVAC systems. I seek roles where I can apply both procurement expertise and technical knowledge to improve supply chain performance.
